Hearts are light and gay because it's the real advent of summer, According to an old super- stition, summer actually begins on June 21. But try 'to tell that to a school teacher, glassy-eyed in a miasma of chalk-dust and warm running-shoes, as she labours 'through the last week of classes with children whore minds and hearts, have fled the classroom to the great, green, throbbing outdoors. Try to tell it to the tourist operator, whose cabins are as empty as his cash 'register, whose boats squat on the shore like so many gutted crocodiles, whose dining-room echoes only to the lone 'tread of his wife, as she limps in from the kit- chen to see 'if there's any point an preparing dinner for non- existent guests. Nape. Summer begins' on the last weekend in June, and we might as well resign ourselves to it. That's when the hordes of urchins pour forth in an ex- uberant tidal wave from their schools, filled' with a bursting sensation of freedom, Which will last about 48 hours. * * * That's when the factory worker, who has spent 111/2 months putting round pegs in square holes,' or something of the sort, sets off, quivering with' LIFE, 'for his two-weeks- with-pay, ready to half-kill himself golfing, swimming, drinking beer, dancing, or what- Senior Pin Nancy Schoenhals (Photo Courtesy of Saskatoon Star-Phoenix) Miss Nancy Schoenhals, who attended 'Clinton Public School has been chosen for outstand- ing leadership, a sparkling per- sonality and a high academic record, 'at Nutana Collegiate Institute in Saskatoon, Sask.

Lions Elect 'International President ‘ii,,Curtis, D. -.Lavin, Gardiner, "Maine, was elected Interna- tional. President of Lions In- ternational at the Associa- tion's 4E.th. Annual Conrven- tion in Nice, France. Lions International, with 640,000 members in 116 countries, is' the world's largest service club organization. Liens International is best known for its many youth programs, community service projects, sight. conservation activities and aid to the' blind'. Last year Lions Clubs around the globe completed more than 200,000 individual come munity service projects. In,Olintan the Lions special project is 'the skating arena which 'they have operated for ten years'. They also convene the crippled children's Easter Seals sale, sponsor Teen Town, minor sports in sum- mer and winter and assist local people in need. For 'the bass fisherman, a breed as peculiar in his way as the deer hunter, this is the big weekend of the year. It means the beginning of two beautiful months in which he can bake to a crisp in an, open boat, lash various bodies of water with miscellaneous hardware, and drink skunky 'beer, to his heart's . content. Sheer joy. * * For the tension-tant young executive, too, its a special weekend, Family settled in ,at the cottage, he leaves Sunday night with protestations. that: "It's gonna be awfully lonely without you guys." And as he, drives down 'the highway, back to the city, his heart is light as angel cake as he contem- plates 'those long, lovely sum- mer evenings, with maybe a drink and dinner in a pleasant restaurant before going home to that beautiful, peaceful, peopleless house. And, of course, for everyone, this weekend 'has a special sig- nificance, because looming up right 'in the middle of it is that glorious celebration of Canada's great national holiday — the. First of July — or, as we used to call it 'in simpler days, - Do- minion, Day. • What Canadian is not thrilled 'to the marrow by the know- ledge that the First of July is just around' the corner, with its wild' bacchanalian revelry, its flagrant expression of a 'highly emotional people's deepest ,feel- ings?

No, that doesn't seem 'to ring a bell. Was it the day Barbara Ann Scott swam across Lake Superior? I don't think to. Walt it the day Mac- kenzie King introduced the Baby Bonus? I don't believe it was. . • Wait a minute. It's coming back to me now. It was the day somebody 'drove the last spike into -Sir John A. MacDonald.

"Even if the candidate spent one full day in each township (and he could cover only a fraction of the municipality, in that time), this. • alone would require almost a month, considering Sundays." The I-Iuron. Expositor, Seaforth, .notes that Canada faces serious times. "There is every indication that we will have a weak government fearful for its very existence . „ When what is needed are stern measures to counteract .the erosion of our economy, we could have instead decisions based on political ex- pediency, designed to appease sectional interests in an effort to hold °Mee , „ Under the circumstances another elec-• tion within the year appears a cer- tainty . . . ". The Goderich Signal-Star quotes Elston Cardiff, "It's a mess." The editor notes that -"Few Canadians, regardless of their political hue, can take any satis- faction in the results of Monday's vote. It is little short of political chaos. An- other election in 'the none too distant future is inevitable to give stability to the government . . . The Liberal candi- date Ernie Fisher has expressed disap- When the Prime Minister of Canada spoke to the people of this Dominion on Monday evening, to ex- plain the action taken on the weekend by the government to launch a program of some austerity in Canada, he had a difficult task. There had to come a' time when Canadians would be asked to do their belts up a notch tighter than their custom. None of us looked forward• to it, but all of us must have been aware of it somewhere in the back of our consciousness. It was over a year ago that we sat in a conference room filled with Cana- dians, in business in Canada, and heard a man from New York, also in business, tell us bluntly, "You Canadians are the laziest people in the world." We were taken aback by this, but the fact remained. Canadians had and probably still have the highest average income per person, per hour worked, of any nation in the world. Sure, there are highly paid engineers and electric- ians in the city of New York, but there are thousands of "poor whites" and poverty stricken coloured folk in the United States of America, which pull the average income per person of that nation below ours. Another holiday weekend is coming up. Extended weekends during the summer are always welcomed. That one extra day away from the office seems to mean a great deal. It gives most families an added urge to get away from it all. This coming weekend will be no exception. With the children out of school, there will be a hectic rush—whether it is away to the cottage or off to camp. As a result, traffic on all highways will be much heavier than usual. This rush is bound to cause trouble. Every holiday weekend gives a black band to the news on Tuesday morning. pointment On the support given him, Particularly that from ,.Goderich .„ , However, we do not believe it was a vote against Ernie, but rather a vote for Goderich's. traditionally supported political party —The Progressive Qon- ServativeS . „" The Seaforth News states, "There were no celebrations locally, Liberals had nothing to .celebrate in Huron and with the uncertainty of the situation federally, there was no jubilation by any party." The Mitchell Advocate comments on the precarious majority for the Pro- gressive Conservatives which makes for unstable government . . . "No party gaining power has been able to deliver any instant panacea for the ills that beset us . . We are still citizens of a fair and promising country with the freedom of choice to vote as we will, consequences being what they may. What we need is co-operation in econo- mic crisis, if such prevails, the submer- sion of party for country." And the Mitchell editor ended, "Now on with Canada's business. May it ° be administered befitting itself amongst the nations of the world, not as any fifth rate power but higher up the ladder." the hog" as some of our ancestors would put it. The action taken by the Conserva- tive government over last weekend, possibly comes later than it should have done. But we cannot, nor would we, blame the Conservative party in partic- ular. Faced with the same problem, do you honestly think the Liberals Would have made announcement of these steps prior to or during an election campaign? We think not. If blame exists, it rests with the Canadian people who fail to insist upon good statesmanship, and have accepted a high' standard of living for which in many cases we have not worked hard enough to deserve. We can only hope that Canadians will rise to the challenge put to them by their duly elected Prime Minister, when he concluded his address to the nation Monday night, with the words: "I have the fullest confidence in the spirit in which Canadians will ac- cept and support these measures . . . We will then come through this emer- gency with a new pride of accomplish- ment, a new strength in our economy and the knowledge that each has added to the lustre of the Canada we love." The accounts of these accidents usually run to many columns, but adds up to one thing: people are just overly anxious to reach their destination. The same advice holds good for every holiday weekend throughout the summer. Drive carefully. Allow extra time for. delays, and realize that they are to be expected. Above all, never drive When fatigued. At such times it is much better to pull off the road and rest. A pause for light refreshment usually takes the worry out of the worst traffic snarl. Such stops are really important. Take it easy this weekend. See you next week. Only What Had. To Be Take It Easy
